Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?

[F]This is me coming back to get you o[G]ut to say goodbye, to make amends
[C]I'm not leav[G]ing this plac[Am]e
[F]Unless I'm [C]leaving with [G]you

[C]So Me and M[G]r. Dylan on t[Am]he ride home
We had a [F]heart-to-[C]heart about [G]life
But [C]neither him or [G]me could dec[Am]ide for ourse[Em]lves
If we [F]wanted to outlive that [G]night
Like two ch[C]ildren on the p[G]layground of the [Am]unconfessed souls
[F]Abandoned by our [C]mothers and our [G]lovers and our foes
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/toh_kay/the_big_sleep_crd.html )

So, how many more examples until we break?
[F]How many sacrif[C]ices must we [G]make?
[C]We've all been there on[G]ce before
And it l[Am]ooks like we've ret[Em]urned once more
So is t[F]his the beginning or the [G]end?
C ('Palm Muted') G
The last two soldiers on the battlefield
[Am]Survivors of the war
They a[F]im at one another while their [C]mothers beg the [G]lord
"If you're liste[C]ning, I'm [G]missing him
So s[Am]omehow bring him h[Em]ome.
[F]How did it come to t[G]his?"
C(Single Strum) G
So the soldiers lift their rifles
And they're a[Am]iming at the head
They t[F]hink of their first lo[C]ve before they t[G]ake their final breath
And s[C]omewhere in the d[G]istance they hear [Am]something someone [Em]said:
[F]"How did it come to t[G]his?"
